ESPN host Stephen A. Smith threw Sean Hannity’s complaints about diversity, equity and inclusion back into his face on Tuesday night by wondering how exactly Hannity’s former Fox News colleague Pete Hegseth was “qualified” to run the massive Department of Defense.
The bombastic sports pundit’s retort to Hannity — who he has long considered a close pal — comes as the Trump administration and Fox News personalities have baselessly blamed DEI for the horrific D.C. plane crash that left 67 dead. “They actually came out with a directive saying it’s too white,” Trump claimed about the FAA’s hiring policies, adding that the agency brought on people with “severe mental disabilities” under Joe Biden.
